I have a question regarding my existing wired home network. Hi there, thanks for a very helpful blog. Is it worth it? Yes, and you don’t have much choice if you want an Ethernet port to plug devices in, or to use an aftermarket router with Starlink. Connecting via Ethernet has certainly proved to be faster and more reliable than Wifi.

I have my main PC plugged into it so that I don’t have to do any gaming or video conferencing over Wifi. I haven’t had a single issue with it, and I’ve mostly forgotten about it because it just does it’s job.

If you’re like me, you will install it, shove it behind your desk, and forget it even exists. It’s profile allows it to easily hang behind a desk or cabinet. It’s made of a nice looking plastic that matches the other Starlink hardware.
It just sits between the router and the dish, and gives you one Ethernet port. What else can I say, there really isn’t much to this device. And if your situation requires a hardwire connection, the adapter is just an extra $25 from the Starlink shop. Most people won’t need an Ethernet port, so Starlink eliminated it on the router to lower manufacturing costs. These days, everything connects via Wifi, from our TV’s, to our computers, to our cell phones. My guess is that Starlink believes most people don’t use the Ethernet port. The round dish router has an Ethernet port built in, so I was confused by the decision to remove the Ethernet port for the next generation hardware that is being sold today to customers. I was an early beta tester for Starlink, when they were still selling the round dish. Your Wifi will continue to work as normal, but now you can connect devices via Ethernet for internet access. Once the app indicates that Starlink is Online, you are all set! There is no additional setup required. You can monitor the status of the system from the Starlink App. Give the Starlink system several minutes to boot up and connect to satellites.
Step 5 – You can now power everything back on by plugging in the router AC power cord at the wall. Step 4 – Plug the Starlink antenna cable into the connector on the Starlink Ethernet Adapter. Step 3 – Plug the Starlink Ethernet Adapter into the router, where the Starlink antenna cable was. Step 2 – Unplug the Starlink antenna cable from the bottom of the router. You will want the dish and router turned off while we reconfigure the cables. Step 1 – Unplug the Starlink router AC power cord from the wall. You don’t need any tools or IT skills, just follow these steps: Installing the Starlink Ethernet Adapter is very simple, and there is virtually no setup required.
